Trump meets trucking executives and has the time of his life

US President Donald Trump looked like he was having the time of his life when he met with truck drivers and trucking executives yesterday afternoon.

The president, who took a pit stop while rallying for his healthcare reform bill, spent some time addressing the trucking community.

But it seemed like the president had the most fun when he spent a few minutes happily exploring the cab of a tractor-trailer parked outside the White House.

"No one knows America like truckers know America. You see it every day. You see every hill, and you see every valley and you see every pothole in our roads that have to be rebuilt," Mr Trump told his visitors during their meeting in the Cabinet Room.

The 70-year-old Republican, dressed in a suit embellished with an “I love trucks” badge, enthusiastically honked the horn before pretending to drive the vehicle and making comical faces.

Photographs of the president’s joyride were picked up by social media users who took to Twitter to create the hashtag #TrumpTruck.

“When your mommy tells you to get out of the truck, but you don’t want to go,” one Twitter user captioned the photgraph.
